– #Ummagumma … a paradoxical intention on profound negligence and lack of professional knowledge –
In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. In time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties. (Laurence J. Peter & Raymond Hull, The Peter Principle)
Dear Mrs Haley! Dear Nikki!
Knock … knock … this is Her big little pal Cal pounding at Her door.
How ‘s it going?
She ‘s working on it … okay.
To begin with, She mustn’t mind differentiating states of aggregate from physical and mental stages of development and maturity. Accordingly, here ‘s an odd nursery rhyme for Her: Pollywogs ‘re tiny frogs / N Buck Rogers, did y’ know? / Raps Coolio, Yo / Was a bigga froz’n embryo.
Did She get it?
Making a long story short, critics are our best friends, right?!
However, the humble author is likely to be his (own) greatest critic; certainly no critic of Nikki‘s or anyone else’s.
Instead, he ‘s a rather concerned individual enduring heavy allergic reactions on an exuberance of perceived waffling at the expense of an open mind and independent soul, habitually comfortable with comprehensive and holistic elaborations on fact-driven expertise, set in a broad and meaningful context of societal interest – in speaking and writing.
Did She get it?
Furthermore, She really enjoys phrasing these syntactical openers, doesn’t She? As far as I know, ... / Frankly speaking, ... / Honestly, ... / I believe, ... / I guess, ... / I know, that ... / I must confess, ... / I think, ... / To me, ... .
Once upon a time, R. Kelly used to believe; he could fly … .
Has She ever thought of distinguishing Facts from Feelings and Fictions of Hers, capable of covering singular and plural views; scientific, societal, social, ethical elaborations on a particular issue of interest?
In various ways, She could remind one of Herman Cain[1] N L-i-b-y-a[2].
Why?
Here some statements of Hers in chronological order of corresponding press coverage:
I think the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. (Nikki Haley on The Civil War)
# Civil War | Her quotes[3] vs Facts[4]
Yes, we know the Civil War was about slavery, But more than that, what's the lesson in all this? That freedom matters. (Nikki Haley on Slavery
# Slavery | Her quotes[5] vs Facts[6]
America has always had racism, but America has never been a racist country. The liberal media always fails to get that distinction. It can throw a fit, but that doesn’t change Nikki’s belief that America is special because its people are always striving to do better and live up to our founding ideals of freedom and equality. (Nikki Haley on Racism)
# Racism | Her quotes[7] vs Facts[8]
Embryos, to me, are babies. ... I had artificial insemination. That’s how I had my son. So, when you look at, one thing is to save sperm or to save eggs. But when you talk about an embryo, you are talking about, to me, that’s a life. So, I do see where that’s coming from when they talk about that. (Nikki Haley on In Vitro Fertilisation)
# In Vitro Fertilisation | Her quote[9] vs Facts[10]
What else?
Oh yes, here ‘s a to do list for Her in alphabetical order as follows – She ‘s to assure setting priorities right – right?! – :
# China | Jinping (Carl Schmitt Afficionado[11])
# Globe | Artificial Intelligence (Brainiacs[12])
# Globe | Climate Change (Earth[13])
# Globe | Environmental Pollution (Chemicals-Pharmaceuticals Industry[14])
# Globe | Far-Right Extremism (Jinpingian Disciples[15])
# Globe | Future’s Greatest Challenges (Earth[16])
# Globe | Refugees Crisis and Civil War (Africa[17])
# Globe | Women’s Rights (Human Rights[18])
# Middle East | Israel (Gaza Crisis[19])
# Russia | Putin[20] (Neo-Soviet Imperialism[21])
# Turkey | NATO (Erdoğan‘s Semi-Finished Loyalty[22])
# United States of America | Trump (Constitutional Ink Eradicator[23])
# United States of America | Homework (Open Issues[24])
As She might ’ve guessed, skinny Ms Piggie Swift & tight end Kelce the Frog ain’t on the long list.
Would it be suiting Her, if She were being invited to Jeopardy[25] answering a slew of pre-selected, closed questions?
Anyway, when the chips are down, She 'd probably be requiring a Bluetooth-Ear-Plug connected to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Did She get it?
Inevitably yours,
Cal Caleido

I do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reason — nope, that's a different one – I gotta go back and see. I got all this stuff twirling around in my head.
